                Get High Commissions from your Affiliate Programs! |

              | A good way to tell if the affiliate program you belong to is serious about their affiliate program commissions is the
 percentage they are paying you. If someone is offering you 10%
 commission, and they are keeping the rest, then you need to ask
 yourself "Should I really be in this affiliate program?".
 
 One affiliate program I have joined pays out 45% commission to
 their affiliates and another 10% to the 2nd tier. That's 55%!
 They only keep 45% and it's from this that they take their
 costs. Either they've gone completely mad or they are very
 smart! I suspect they are very smart.
 
 By paying such high affiliate program commissions they are
 attracting many affiliates to their programs. This means they
 can sell a higher volume. With a higher volume of sales they
 can afford to give away such a high commission.
 
 Because they are giving so much away to their affiliates with
 high commissions it shows they are supremely confident in the
 worth of their product or service and its ability to sell
 itself. Their product or service is that good.
 
 The affiliates are doing all the pre-selling, all the hard
 work, getting the eyeballs at their web sites. You want to get
 paid for it. Do not accept 10% commission rates. Set yourself a
 standard of nothing less than 20% and make sure that the 20% is
 more than just a couple of dollars.
 
 It is with the big-percentage payers where you can make some
 decent commissions. The 40%-plus hitters. These BIG affiliate
 program commissions are the ones that will see your bank
 balance explode each and every month.
